MB Grand Master Phantom Chess Machine
The holy grail of electronic games. When launched in the early 1980s, the Phantom was the most expensive electronic game ever created. The reason why it is so special, is that playing chess on this machine, is like playing with a ghost. The computer's pieces are moved by themselves, as if you were playing with the invisible man. You can even set it to play a game against itself.

It is quite beguiling to watch, particularly when the computer moves a piece to the edge of a square, then moves the piece behind through the gap, finishing by nudging the obstructive piece back into the centre of its square. Once you complete your game, you can then play the whole game back in reverse - great for seeing where your strategy collapsed - with the machine moving all the pieces on the board until they finally rest in their start position. It's quite a jaw dropping sight, even when you've played the game many times. When a piece is removed from the board by the computer, it puts it in a space at the side of the board. You never have to help the computer with moving its pieces at all.

There are multiple skill levels, puzzle modes, timer modes and a whole host of professional chess features. As a relative novice player, i've found the computer a challenging opponent even on the easy levels. There is also sound, some re-assuring sounds so you know when it is your turn (just in case you didn't notice the machine moving its piece on the board!).

This is the rarest version, the MB Milton Bradley Grand Master Phantom, the UK release of this Super Rare machine. It is unboxed but in beautiful condition with smoke effect plastic top which covers the pieces. Includes both original manuals, UK format MB Power supply and all the chess pieces with storage boxes. We tested this thoroughly, and also enjoyed watching it play a complete match against itself, unsurprisingly, it won! Check the large photos.

While we do send worldwide, please contact us if you intend to buy this item and are outside of the UK, as due to the huge size of the parcel, we will need to clarify airmail shipping to your region. We may be able to refund some of the automatically calculated postage the site calculates for overseas buyers if we use courier shipping.
